Casting and watching auditions is “quietly” becoming one of my favourite pieces of the process of making The Quiet Canadians.

Thanks to Monika Dalman Casting & her team for all the great help, and to our Producers for judiciously going through all the auditions.

Talent really shines!

“If you hit the ground this time, I’ll bump you up to stunt.”

That’s how Lauro Chartrand-Del Valle got his first official stunt credit.

He slams the wall, hits the ground, and hears:
“Yep. That’ll do.”
